"A few months after announcing its big name change, MSNBC is getting a new domain featuring its new name: ms.now. It features essentially the same layout as the old MSNBC website, but with a fresh coat of paint, including the new MS NOW flag logo - the old MSNBC peacock is gone. The new website is launching as part of MS NOW's independent newsroom, which began separating from NBC News in October."
"The split is the result of Comcast's decision to spin off its cable channels, including MSNBC. With the new domain name and website refresh, MS NOW is leaving behind one of its clearest ties to NBC. MS NOW seems to have missed its opportunity to get msnow.com, which is currently occupied by a mostly empty page referencing "Motorized Snow vehicles." Fortunately for them, domains with the .now extension went on sale about a year ago."
MSNBC has launched a new domain using the renamed brand ms.now and adopted a new MS NOW flag logo while retiring the MSNBC peacock. The refreshed site keeps the prior layout with updated styling. MS NOW is operating as an independent newsroom after beginning separation from NBC News in October following Comcast's decision to spin off its cable channels. The domain change and redesign further distance MS NOW from NBC. The organization did not secure msnow.com, which currently references "Motorized Snow vehicles." The "MS" initials no longer denote Microsoft and now mean "My Source for News, Opinion, and the World."
